Learning methods

The SIMI learning method has been honed by almost 20 years of continuously improving the processes, which combine three integrated learning vehicles:

• Interactive classroom lectures and workshops
• Real-life home company assignments
• Multi-company assignments on issues across the industry

Extended classroom teaching involves internationally renowned faculty from leading business schools, universities and authorities, intensive peer-to-peer learning, discussion of cases that are relevant to the industry, workshops and simulations.

The home company assignments anchor the learning and contribute directly to improvements at the sponsoring company. Implementation rates for the final home company assignments are now approaching a level of 70 percent.

Participants also work in multi-company groups to prepare and deliver a report on a key industry issues to expand industry-specific learning and networking.

The program requires a lot of preparation and participation. This includes pre-reading, class lectures and discussions, case studies, individual and group assignments, and application of learning to home company assignments.

Due to the international composition of the faculty and the participants, English is used exclusively throughout the course.
